"A turbo-charged, four-cylinder, 4WD, four-wheel steering, four-door sedan, sold in limited numbers makes the Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 a treasured piece of JDM history. In fact, without it, the later Lancer Evo might not even exist. The Galant VR-4 was the platform that Mitsubishi developed its impeccable AWD system and, in the process, won no less than six rally championships. It also makes for a barrel of thrills to drive. The VR-4 ignites off the line, cuts into corners, and brakes with precision. The engine develops potent horsepower put to the wheels via a center differential that detects wheel slippage and re-directs power to the axle with the most traction. Four-wheel steering engages at speeds more than 31 mph and turns the rear wheels up to 1.5 degrees to enable optimum turn angle and cornering stability. One look at the VR-4 equipped with the bull bar, the huge halogen fog lamps and roof vents and dressed in its classic Mitsubishi race livery make it obvious this car means business."—Official description[1]
The 1992 Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 - abbreviated as Galant VR-4 - is an AWD sports sedan by Mitsubishi that debuted in the May Top Gear Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 4. It returned to all subsequent series as standard since Forza Horizon 2 as part of the Storm Island Expansion.
It appears in Forza Horizon 4 as part of the Mitsubishi Motors Car Pack.
Synopsis
The Galant VR-4 was developed by Mitsubishi's Ralliart in-house tuner for the Group A series of the World Rally Championship (WRC). It was equipped with a full-time all-wheel drive system using a viscous coupler, hence the VR-4 name that stood for Viscous Realtime 4WD. Other technical highlights included a four-wheel steering and a two liter DOHC turbo engine codenamed 4G63.
After ending production in 1992, its all-wheel drive system and engine were carried over to the first generation Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, which replaced the VR-4 for subsequent WRC seasons.[2] The latter continued production for the seventh and eigth generation Mitsubishi Galant, but was offered with a twin turbo V6 instead.
